Pastoral Care

Ongoing Pastoral Care Ministries:

Hospital Visitation

A deacon led ministry of First Baptist Church that reaches out to people confined to one of Huntsville's three hospitals. Deacons and other volunteers have a monthly schedule to visit both members and non-members who we know are in the hospital. For more information or to volunteer, contact Joe Zimmerman (joedzim@juno.com).

Churches are a natural agency to assist their congregation and the community at large in achieving optimal wholistic health. Education programs for health ministers/faith community nurses have been established and are now being offered by various hospitals and home health agencies across the country. First Baptist Church is now beginning a Faith Community Nursing ministry. The functions of our Faith Community Nurse are being performed by Eugenia Graves, please contact her for more information.

First Baptist Church is a partner church with the Vine which is an ecumenical counseling center that promotes emotional healing with the love and grace of Christ for individuals, couples, families and congregations.
